Quoted from CrazyLevi:I dig it. I just don't see the need to play fake unsatisfying pinball when I'm on the John, on a plane, etc. I also don't see how it helps anybody who can't afford a TOTAN to have a weird fake TOTAN simulation on their phone that isn't the same thing as playing TOTAN.
I played a bunch of tables through Pinball Arcade before making my last actual game purchase. While not perfect, it is great to hear the music and call-outs that are often inaudible when playing onsite. I viewed it like taking a VR tour of a real estate listing: for $100, I bought a bunch of tables and was able to rule out possible games for home use simply by playing a few rounds on certain machines in PA.
Also, I've got to say, that while the physics on PA aren't perfect, their tables often play better than real machines in the wild.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I am currently unable to date Kate Upton, and buying the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue was a pretty poor simulation.
If you were dating Kate Upton, you wouldn't need to ogle her in a magazine.
